Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for history and war-film fans and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Shelve it next to The Zone of Interest or The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Tense, harrowing.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Norway, 1942, during World War II. After being separated from her family, Esther, a young Jewish girl from Trondheim, arrives at an isolated farm where she must assume a new identity in order to survive the Nazi persecution.
